Tony Bish Heartwood Chardonnay 2019 (6 x 750ml)
(Offer price - $47.50 per bottle in a straight six-pack)
"This is splendidly fruited and seductively complex on the nose showing golden peach, fresh fig, vanilla and roasted hazelnut characters. It's concentrated and richly textured on the palate, displaying excellent weight and beautifully layered mouthfeel, finishing impressively long and delectable. At its best: now to 2026."
5 stars + 95 points, Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
"Tasted over two days. Day two is when this wine starts to
really tell its story showcasing aromas of ripe grapefruit and yellow
orchard fruits, a baking spice and creamy custard layer, noticeable
complexity with synergies from baking spices and fruits, shape and
texture surrounds the bouquet with a mineral stone - like core. On the
palate - an immediate satin mouthfeel is contrasted by the youthful
bite of oak and some of its fine tannins. Medium acidity accentuates
the citrus, apple and yellow orchard fruit flavours. Curiously complex,
detailed, youthful and lengthy. A really lovely wine with longevity on
its side as well as early drinking. Best drinking from early 2021
through 2025+."

"Barrel-fermented Mendoza clone chardonnay that's predictably rich
with plenty of weight and generous peach and spicy oak flavours. An
assertive and appealing wine with an impressively lingering
finish."
